<P>Well, look at it this way. Without the factory reset, you won’t be able to access the modem to make the changes you need to make. Normally it’s a trouble-free procedure.

Depending on the layout of your home, your device capabilities and potential interference from neighbouring wifi routers, you need to decide whether you want to run on the 2.4 Ghz or 5 Ghz band for your devices.

<P>We recently upgraded to the Hybrid Fibre 150 internet package, and got the new CGN3.&nbsp;</P>
<P>What I want to do is change the name of the network from "OnyxMagnolia", and,&nbsp;change the default password of the network, also if there is a way, get rid of the "Guest" network and the "5G" network? Not even sure what the 5G is.</P>
<P>But I can't seem to log in. Called Rogers support on the first day and they told me to hook up ethernet cord to the modem, which I did, and log in using the username "cusadmin" and password "password", same as it says on <A href="http://www.rogers.com/web/support/internet/home-networking/185?setLanguage=en" target="_self">this page</A>, which I did. It keeps telling me "Login Failed. Wrong Password"</P>

<P>Looks like.. you might have got a unit, which was NOT reset, before being given to you.<BR /><BR />Best bet, would be to do a FACTORY RESTORE on it.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>fine the little pin hole in the back of it, and press something into it.. hold it in for a good 20 odd seconds.</P>
<P>It will reboot, and then should be back at factory settings.</P>
<P>you then should be able to plug in wired, and log in via CUSADMIN and PASSWORD</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Once in there, under the wireless settings, you should be able to change all your wireless names, password and settings.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>The 5g listed.. there are TWO wireless frequencies that wireless normally runs on 2.4 and 5ghz.<BR /><BR />Most common is the 2.4... which tends to have a slightly farther range as the 5ghz... BUT.. there are a TON of stuff like portable phones, bluetooth, microwaves, etc.. which all run on the 2.4ghz freqencies and can cause interfearance.<BR />Its an alternate wireless network, you can connect to with a device which supports 5ghz.</P>

<P>If that is the name of the networks that you see on your laptop, it looks like that is a recycled modem.&nbsp; On that presumption, depress the recessed Factory Reset button on the back of the modem for 10 seconds and then release it.&nbsp; That will initiate a factory reset and reboot.&nbsp; After the reboot, you should be able to log in with the "cusadmin / password" combination.&nbsp; The 5g network is the 5 Ghz network, one of two that the CGN3 will broadcast, the other of course is the usual 2.4 Ghz network.&nbsp; Did you happen to use the setup key at all?&nbsp; Hopefully not, as the results cause more problems than that key is worth.&nbsp; The key is used to setup a guest account, set up parental controls and name the wired network.&nbsp; But, as I have indicated, don't use it.&nbsp; Log in manually at 192.168.0.1 to access the user controls.&nbsp; If after the reboot you detect a Guest account still broadcasting from the modem, call tech support to turn it off and have them also turn off the Home Monitoring SSID, in case its on and broadcasting.&nbsp; Home monitoring has its own modem now, but used to run off of the internet modem.&nbsp; If you need to monitor the modem after its up and running you can load inSSIDer onto a laptop and check out the networks that it is broadcasting as well as any other networks that might be running nearby.&nbsp; It worth knowing that as it will explain any interference problems that you might encounter from other networks.&nbsp; Here's the link:</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><A target="_blank" href="http://www.techspot.com/downloads/5936-inssider.html">http://www.techspot.com/downloads/5936-inssider.html</A></P><P>&nbsp;</P>Sat, 03 Jan 2015 20:32:26 GMThttps://communityforums.rogers.com/t5/Internet/Can-t-log-in-to-CGN3/m-p/284842#M21497Datalink2015-01-03T20:32:26ZRe: Can't log in to CGN3https://communityforums.rogers.com/t5/Internet/Can-t-log-in-to-CGN3/m-p/284845#M21500

<P>The only way to turn off the guest network is to use the USB setup key, which I strongly advise against (throw it out) or by calling tech support to have them turn it off.&nbsp; While you are there, ask the CSR to also ensure that the Home Monitoring SSID on the CGN3 is also turned off.&nbsp; When that is done, you should be able to look at the CGN3 network with inSSIDer, and only see two networks running, one 2.4 Ghz and one 5 Ghz, provided you have a dual band laptop.&nbsp; Even with a single band 2.4 Ghz laptop running inSSIDer, you should only see one network broadcasting from the CGN3.&nbsp; If you look at the MAC address of the networks on the network list, you should not see another MAC address that is almost identical to your network's.&nbsp; The only difference would be the last right hand digit.&nbsp; Those columns on the inSSIDer network display can be sorted up and down by selecting the top column title so that would make it easy to spot another network broadcasting from your CGN3.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>If either one of the networks is being broadcast you will see a corresponding LED at the bottom of the front LED display.&nbsp; So by looking and observing that both 2.4 and 5 Ghz LEDs are lit, and not seeing the 5 Ghz network on your laptop, that would pretty well confirm that the laptop is not 5 Ghz capable.&nbsp; If you drilled down to the Control Panel .....Device Manager and copied the adapter model and pasted it here, we can look up the specs to confirm it.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Given the fact that this looks to be a recycled CGN3 that had been used with the USB setup key, if you have any problems with it, don't hesitate to take it back in and exchange it</P>Sun, 04 Jan 2015 04:24:27 GMThttps://communityforums.rogers.com/t5/Internet/Can-t-log-in-to-CGN3/m-p/284864#M21506Datalink2015-01-04T04:24:27ZRe: Can't log in to CGN3https://communityforums.rogers.com/t5/Internet/Can-t-log-in-to-CGN3/m-p/284909#M21508

<P>Given the fact that your running three Xbox’s you might be better off running the CGN3 in Bridge mode and use the Nighthawk for your router, unless of course you have the three Xbox’s already up and running without any issues. I still believe that using the Nighthawk as the main router would be a better solution as you would hopefully get rid of latency issues with the CGN3 when it’s running in Bridge mode. That might be worthy of an experiment just to be able to compare the two configurations and see which one is better for gaming.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>To set up the two devices with the CGN3 in Gateway mode, you would turn off both wifi networks on the CGN3. For the Nighthawk, you would turn off the DHCP server so that the CGN3 handles all of the LAN IP addressing, and assign an IP address to the Nighthawk that is outside of the range of the CNG3’s LAN IP address range. That will require you to take the Nighthawk IP address out of Auto Mode and manually assign an IP address.&nbsp; Once done, that will enable you to log into the Nighthawk to make configuration changes in the future. That should do it I believe. Plug the Nighthawk into the CGN3 and reboot the Nighthawk. You should be able to log into both in the event that any changes are required.</P>Mon, 05 Jan 2015 18:12:46 GMThttps://communityforums.rogers.com/t5/Internet/Can-t-log-in-to-CGN3/m-p/284931#M21514Datalink2015-01-05T18:12:46ZRe: Can't log in to CGN3https://communityforums.rogers.com/t5/Internet/Can-t-log-in-to-CGN3/m-p/284939#M21516

<P>Well, your older dlink, might be SLOWER than the CGN3 in wired and wireless means.. so that could have done that.</P>
<P>(especially if your CGN3 hasnt updated to the new 4.2.4.5 firmware.. the router would have hit the 10/100 bug with the previous firmware)<BR /><BR />All in all, i would at min, start be reverting your CGN3 to FACTORY.<BR /><BR />There should be a little pin hole in the back.. depress it for a good 20 seconds, let it fully reboot.<BR /><BR />That should set it back to gateway mode, factory settings.</P>

<P>From there.. can move on to your other issues.<BR /><BR />As for your VIOP..&nbsp; the CGN3 NAT is pretty strict.. and seems to not directly play nice with most VOIP units straight out.<BR />USUALLY they will work fine, as long as you set up the port forwarding rules specific to that device.<BR />(you would have to find out what they are).<BR /><BR />Alternatively..

<P>Is this a modem that you have just installed or have you been using it for a while?&nbsp; Either way, if you can't access the modem, the quickest and only method to guarantee access is to run a Factory reset.&nbsp; Depress the recessed reset button at the back of the modem for 10 seconds and release.&nbsp; The modem will run a factory reset and reboot.&nbsp; When that is done you will see the two wifi LEDs at the bottom of the front LED display go active, indicating that the 2.4 and 5 Ghz wifi networks are active with default settings.&nbsp; Open a web browser and enter 192.18.0.1 as the address, which will take you to the login page.&nbsp; cusadmin / password should work to gain entry to the modem.&nbsp;</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>1&nbsp; First thing to do is change the modem password located in the Admin...Management Screen</P>
<P>2. Second thing to do is turn off both wifi networks as they are using the default network names and passphrases, or, change them so that they don't use the default names and passphrases.</P>
<P>3.&nbsp; complete the other settings as required</P>
<P>4.&nbsp; Create a backup file and store it on your pc so that if you ever have to factory reset the modem, you can simply restore the settings and be back in business within a couple of minutes of starting the reset.&nbsp; Go to the Admin.....Backup tab and create a backup file.&nbsp; If you ever need it, following a reset, return to that page and run the restore.</P>Mon, 23 Feb 2015 14:05:19 GMThttps://communityforums.rogers.com/t5/Internet/Can-t-log-in-to-CGN3/m-p/288686#M22777Datalink2015-02-23T14:05:19ZRe: Can't log in to CGN3https://communityforums.rogers.com/t5/Internet/Can-t-log-in-to-CGN3/m-p/288691#M22778

<P>Yes it is.&nbsp; If you have been using this modem for a while, you should not be using the default password.&nbsp; That makes me think that someone else has logged into the modem and changed the password without your knowledge, locking you out of controlling the modem.&nbsp; The best thing that you can do is run a factory reset to regain control of the modem.&nbsp; Once that is done, ensure that you change the modem password, the default wifi network name and default wifi network passphrase.&nbsp; You will have to reset all of your other parameters, but as I indicated above, setting up a backup file will allow you to do this again in the future and be back up and running in the space of a couple of minutes, without the pain of having to reset everything.</P>Mon, 23 Feb 2015 14:06:16 GMThttps://communityforums.rogers.com/t5/Internet/Can-t-log-in-to-CGN3/m-p/288696#M22781Datalink2015-02-23T14:06:16ZRe: Can't log in to CGN3https://communityforums.rogers.com/t5/Internet/Can-t-log-in-to-CGN3/m-p/288698#M22782

<P><U><EM>Cannot log in to Rogers CGN3 after Factory Reset</EM></U></P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Previously, my CGN3 was running in bridge mode and connected to my Asus RT-AC52U. I recently bought a new router, and as a result want to factory reset my modem to set everything up again.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>However, even after pressing and holding the reset button for 30 seconds and having the modem reboot, I cannot access the login page at&nbsp;192.168.0.1 and&nbsp;receive a page loading error.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>I am currently setting it up via an ethernet cable hooked up between my desktop and the CGN3 LAN port 1, and my router is completely disconnected.<BR /><BR />There is reason to believe that even after factory resetting it, it is still running in bridge mode. The "Rogers Easy Connect" network hasn't shown up, and I'm still able to access the internet directly through my modem.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Any and all help would be much appreciated.</P>Fri, 30 Dec 2016 21:26:58 GMThttps://communityforums.rogers.com/t5/Internet/Can-t-log-in-to-CGN3/m-p/380024#M38970LAN_Before_Time2016-12-30T21:26:58ZRe: Can't log in to CGN3https://communityforums.rogers.com/t5/Internet/Can-t-log-in-to-CGN3/m-p/380025#M38971
<P><SPAN>Reboot the desktop. &nbsp;After the reboot, if you run an ipconfig/all command at a command prompt you should see that the Default Gateway Address is 192.168.0.1 and that the pc has an address in the range of 192.168.0.2 to 192.68.0.199. &nbsp;Those two pieces of info will confirm that the pc has picked up a new IP address from the modem.&nbsp;</SPAN></P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P><SPAN>You could just bring up a web browser after the reboot, and if you enter 192.168.0.1 into the address bar, it should display the setup page.&nbsp;</SPAN></P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P><SPAN>In theory, this should all be plug and play. &nbsp;The pc should automatically pick up a new IP address from the modem after you reset the modem, but, sometimes you have to force it by running the following sequence:</SPAN></P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P><SPAN>ipconfig/release</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN>ipconfig/flushdns</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN>ipconfig/renew</SPAN></P>

<P>Ok, just to be sure here, you're depressing the recessed reset button at the back of the modem, correct? &nbsp;It sits between the LAN ports and the top USB ports at the back of the modem. &nbsp;Stupid question, but ...... just want to be sure. &nbsp;You would need a pin or pen tip, something relatively sharp to repress the reset button. &nbsp;The other "button" would be the WPS button at the front of the modem. &nbsp;</P>
